Corra Group has renewed its lease for its headquarters, in El Segundo California. The employment screening and background checking service has been operating out of its 201 Continental Boulevard space for three years, after moving from its offices, in Venice, California.

“We are delighted we will continue operations at our El Segundo address,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Nick Gustavson. “The space is convenient and gives us ease of facility for all operations. The City of El Segundo is very business friendly and we are proud to be part of that business community.”

Gustavson pointed out that El Segundo contains one of the prominent aero-space and defense industry office parks in Southern California. He listed such immediate neighbors as Raytheon, Boeing, and Northrup Grumman, as well as Mattel, and Stamps.com.

“Corra Group offers services to clients nationally and internationally, but we also try to maintain a local focus,” said Gustavson. “One special area of service is we provide background checks for defense industry and various government contracts. We offer the government compliance packages as well as a la carte background searches. By choosing to remain in El Segundo, our proximity to these clients will continue to provide them with a certain sense of comfort. Literally, we are right down the street.”

Corra Group has added several background checks to its service for business research and executive level employment screening. These searches are in response to increased demand and designed for both due diligence and recruiting purposes to assist clients with determining of the subject or candidate has any potential conflicts of interest.

“We are now offering two types of Social Media Reports,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Gordon Basichis. “One report is for employment screening purposes, and the other is for due diligence and corporate research. These Social Media Reports are are proving increasingly popular with private equity, venture capital, and other financial groups. The social media reports are cost effective and in short course our clients can determine any negative information on their candidates that populates the Internet.

Basichis pointed out that in addition to the Social Media Reports and the typical criminal records and civil records checks, Corra Group now offers a Corporate Records Search. The Corporate Records search will reveal a principle’s history of business affiliations.

“The Corporate Records search helps examine where a candidate has held office previously,” said Basichis. “We recently started offering this background report and our finance clients, especially, are particularly enthusiastic. “This search helps determine whether he was a member of the board, director, owner, partner, or any actual principle. The search is especially helpful in determine any current associations that may prove a conflict of interest. From employers and private equity investors alike the last thing they need is to employee someone only to discover he is part a company with similar interests as their own. Worst case scenario, he can siphon off clients of funding without anyone knowing it, until it’s too late.”
